I want to see the management screen. can you see it? Can I display a magazine in Lightbox by clicking on the image I created? I want to display a magazine linked to the image I created.
Hi,
There’s no management screen. Wowbook is a regular jQuery plugin. You write the html page with the html to be used as the book contents, add the plugin javascript and css files and write a bit of javascript code to configure the book. If you have basic html/javascript knowledge you should have no problem in using Wowbook. Just to make it clear: Wowbook is a jQuery plugin, not a WordPress plugin ( sometimes people find out about Wowbook listed as Wordpress plugin in third-party sites ).
You can display I display a magazine in a lightbox by clicking on the image you created, you can see the plugin doing that the live preview.
Best regards
I have a few questions about your script:
- How can I add the pages in image, PDF or HTML? - Does your script have a back-end? Can I see the link? - Do you have a tutorial online? - Does your script have an API? What’s the tutorial document?
Thank you. Best regards.

And since Wowbook is just a css and a javascript file included in your html file, it does not have or need a back-end.
Wowbook comes with documentation, but is does not have a tutorial online. The plugin also have a API.
Hope this helps

Good Morning. I am having a major problem. I have successfully implemented the lazy loading. But now, the thumbnails menu shows me only the previous pages. On the thumbnails of subsequent pages, only one wheel is shown within the thumbnails. This is a serious problem, because the lazy loading makes the thumbnails menu unusable. If you can help me, I will be very grateful.
Hi,
Because you are using lazy loading, the pages contents are only loaded when the user actually see a page(to trigger page loading). In this case, since the pages are not loaded, there’s no content available to generate automatically the thumbnail for each page. That’s why you must provide the thumbnails yourself using the configuration options thumbnailsImage or thumbnailsSprite. Look in the documentation for see more information about these options.

Bonjour,
I am wanting to purchase a number of plugins and scripts for my marketing agency and I would like to know if I am able install it via the CSS & JavaScript Toolbox plugin: https://css-javascript-toolbox.com
If not, will it work with the Code Snippets plugin: https://en-au.wordpress.org/plugins/code-snippets
Merci, Kym
Hi Kym,
I can’t tell for sure because i never used these plugins (or have the feedback of anyone who used). Since i can’t guarantee it will work, my recommendation for you is to not buy the plugin.
Best regards
Hi, the more I use Wow-Book the more I fall in LOVE with this amazing script. Now, my main issue right now… I want to make my Ebooks responsive… so a simple question would be… What is the perfect image size to create HTML5 wow books for iPhone and Android (single page mode) since I used to apply the scaleToFit ONLY and it sometimes moves outside the viewer. Any tips on how to make it more responsive for mobile devices?
Hi,
I’m glad you are enjoying Wowbook.
I would say to use the option “container” set to window to get a fully responsive ebook.
Regarding the option “scaleToFit”, Wowbook will resize the book to fit inside the element(the container) set in this option. If part of the book is outside the device’s screen probably the container boundaries are also outside the screen. I would check that.
Also, it can be a bug, but i can’t tell for sure without looking at your website.

Hello, does this plugin work on Typo3 well?
And whats your experience on using IE11?
Thanks
Hi,
Since I do not know Typo3, I will give my usual explanation in these cases. Wowbook is a regular jQuery plugin, it is simply html, javascript and css. If you know how to make a generic jQuery plugin work with Typo3, then Wowbook will probably work too.
But i don’t know Typo3 so i can’t help you with that, so i don’t recommend to buy this plugin in this case.
Best regards
Sorry I forgot the question about IE11.
Wowbook works with IE11 but if you have any problem of compatibility just contact me through the support tab and i will fix as soon as possible.

Where are the callbacks for lazy loading? I’m unable to find them in the documentation. Thanks!
Hi,
What exactly are the callbacks you looking for? Can you give me more details?
There’s a onLoadPage callback but i don’t know if this callback is what you need.
Please send me a message through the support tab, email is a better medium to give support.

hi, i added bookmark functionality in toolbar, when i click on bokmark t adds bookmark icon on page but page gets flip to 180 degree. how to remove this bug?
Hi,
Unless you have found a new bug, the change you’ve made is causing this problem. I need to see exactly what you did to be sure what is happening and propose a solution.
Contact me through the support tab and send the url of your webpage. It will help a lot( i will be able to get your answer faster ) if you remove from the webpage all the css, javascript and html code that is not related to the wowbook or the functionality you added.

Hey,
How can I speed up the time it take to render the PDF file in the viewer? It take a long time for the book to show on the screen… Thank you!!!
There are a lot of factors that can influence the time to render the PDF file, but the the first thing i suggest to look is to make sure your webserver has support for partial content(or range requests). More information about range requests here https://benramsey.com/blog/2008/05/206-partial-content-and-range-requests/ Without range requests, wowbook(actually, the library PDF.js, used by wowbook to render pdf files) have to load the entire pdf file before starts rendering the pdf.
For further support requests please send a message through the support tab, email is a better medium to give support because we may need to exchange files, code or information (like urls) that should not be in a public forum.

Hey, I am using this as a PDF… I am trying to use Jquery ajax to get the PDF file… I have figured out how to do that…. But now I would like to be able to pull multiple PDF files from the ajax GET method… How can I pull multiple PDF file from in ajax call?
Hi,
I don’t know, because i never tried to do that before. In wowbook the pdf loading/rendering is handled by the library pdfjs.

hi, i added bookmark functionality in toolbar, when i click on bokmark t adds bookmark icon on page but page gets flip to 180 degree. how to remove this bug?
thanks for you reply..:)
Hello, please I wanna know if I can run this plugin inside a pendrive. I means, I need run a flipbook plugin without a webserver, just using a browser. Is it possible? Tnks.
Hi,
If you are NOT using wowbook with a pdf file, then it should work without a problem.
If you are trying to use wowbook with a pdf file, it will not work. The library PDFjs, used by wowbook, loads pdf files using ajax requests. By default, browsers can’t access local files via ajax. This is a browser security restriction. To access local files you can run a webserver locally(recommended) or configure the browser to allow accesssing local files. For instance, with Chrome you need to start it with the—allow-file-access-from-files flag in the command line. My point is: you probably (“probably” because i have never tested) will have to put a browser pre-configured to open the web page in the pen drive.
Hope that helps

Is it possible to switch to Single page mode using Pdf e-book to display it in single page view as weel as to flip as single page view. If its possible leave me a commment on implementing that. thanks !
Hi,
Set the option “singlePage” to true. Please keep in mind that when in single page mode(SPM), wowbook will show the “second” page in the spread if there’s screen space available. SPM adjusts the size of the book to show one page on the screen(or container), so there’s no loss of screen space due to the visible 2 page spread. And SPM flip the pages accordingly. For instance suppose you’re seeing page 1(pages 1 and 2 are visible) and you click on the “next” button. With SPM off, the book will flip to page 3(and 4), with SPM on the book will slide to the left to show you the page 2.
If you have any trouble with that contact me through the support tab providing more details about your webpage. And remember to use the account you used to buy the plugin license.
Hope that helps
Best regards

Can i used this plugin for Wordpress? parkplatzflughafenbremen.de
I guess you can, but i can’t guarantee. Wowbook is not a WordPress plugin, is a jQuery plugin.
A customer who bought the plugin was kind enough to send to me a tutorial of how he managed to install the plugin on WordPress. But you don’t get any fancy admin interface, you have to write code in order to configure the plugin. Also worth note that this tutorial is quite old, i don’t know if still applies to current version of WordPress.
Send me a email and i will send you this tutorial.

Hi,
I try to test pdf example on my local computer but I get the following error:
pdf.combined.min.js:1350
Access to XMLHttpRequest at ‘file:///C:/temp/pdf/pdf_example.pdf’ from origin ‘null’ has been blocked by CORS policy: Cross origin requests are only supported for protocol schemes: http, data, chrome, chrome-extension, https.
How can I fix this?
Hi,
The library pdfjs, used by wowbook, loads pdf files using ajax requests.
By default, browsers can’t access local files via ajax. This is a browser security restriction. Also, pdfjs have to do the requests to the same domain, that ’s the reason why are you seeing the CORS message.
To access local files you can run a webserver locally(recommended) or configure the browser to allow accesssing local files. For instance, with Chrome you need to start it with the—allow-file-access-from-files flag in the command line.
Hope that helps
